1 Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 8 oz mushrooms washed
- 1 shallot finely chopped

- 1 cup arborio rice
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 4 cups broth I use vegetable broth
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ black pepper
- Parmesan cheese optional, to top
- Parsley optional, to top
Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until golden brown. You want the mushrooms to be slightly crispy and almost toasted. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.3 tablespoon olive oil, 8 oz mushrooms
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet along with the chopped shallot and minced garlic and saute until fragrant.1 shallot, 3 cloves garlic
- Pour the arborio rice into the skillet and stir to allow it to get slightly toasted with the garlic and shallot for about a minute.1 cup arborio rice
- Add the white wine to the skillet and allow it to simmer with the rice until reduced by half.½ cup dry white wine
- Gradually add the broth in ½ cup increments, allowing the rice to come to a low boil to soak up the liquid. Continue to add the broth until all 3 ½ cups have been added. With the last ½ cup of broth, add the cooked mushrooms to the skillet along with the sea salt, black pepper, and optional parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until you’ve reached your desired consistency. The consistency of risotto should be like grits, it should be slightly thick but not enough to hold a shape on a plate.4 cups broth, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, ⅛ black pepper
- Serve the risotto warm with chopped parsley and extra parmesan if desired and enjoy!Parmesan cheese, Parsley
Notes
Storage : Allow the risotto to cool down before storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. When ready to serve, heat it up with a splash of broth or warm water in the microwave in 10-second intervals and enjoy.
